Will my af go back to normal cycle after CP?

I had a chemical pregnancy last month at 4W4D. Just wondering if my period will go back to the normal 28 day cycle or will I be late again? I'm currently on 10dpo and just trying to figure out when I should expect af arrive? And or when to test to see if I'm pregnant

I ovulated a little later after mine, but my LP was still the same... So if you know you're 10DPO then I would still test around the same DPO that you typically do. I wouldn't think your LP would be very altered by it. I would wait a couple more days and try testing at that time. Sorry about your loss last month! I've had those and it is so tough!

Thank you for you input. I'm trying to wait it out until at least 16dpo (that's when my CP started last month) it's just hard to wait.. I've had headaches and waves of nausea since 5dpo. Not sure what to think trying not to get my hopes up

Oh I know exactly what you mean!! I am 14dpo and FF says af was due yesterday... I am trying to hold out until 16dpo also just to be sure before testing. Its getting tough though!!
Fingers crossed that this is your month!! :)

Fingers crossed this is your month also!! We have been ttc #1 for 16 months so I'm hoping and praying with everything I have that this is our month!

I too had a CP last month. Got a positive 2 days before AF was due, but then had spotting and eventually AF showed up 3 days late. My period was a little heavier than normal, but if I hadn't been charting and testing, I wouldn't have known I was even pregnant. My cycle was very normal, although my follicular phase was about 3 days longer than normal. I got a BFP again this month, currently optimistic at 6 weeks along, and I'm feeling fine!

This was after TTC for 13 months without being so much as a single day late in any month. I read somewhere that a CP sort of revs your hormones up so the next month you may be more fertile than normal. I think it's what helped me this time, actually.

Wait a few more days if you can, but your headaches and nausea are pretty good signs!

How do you know when you ovulated? For me, I ovulated a few days late after my CP - which means AF comes a few days late.
If you confirmed ovulation with your doctor or through temping then your AF should be on time. The time between O and AF shouldn't change but your ovulation day may have.

I really don't know when i ovulated unfortunately...I'm thinking I ovulated late this time. Most of time I have lots of cm and cramping on O'd day at cd14. But this time I didn't get cramping until cd18 so thinking I O'd late.
